A/N: Disclaimer: I own none of the Harry Potter characters. The only things I own are the computer I'm typing this on and a few of the characters you have never seen before.

A/N: Heya everyone. I'm a little new to the writing world and this is my first fic. I hope you all like it.

Chapter 1 The new Hermione

Hermione slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. The sun was slowly rising over the horizon and the early morning rays spilled through her window to fill her room with a soft, pale light. There was only two weeks left of summer holiday before she had to catch the train back to Hogwarts and Hermione had changed quite a bit over the summer months.
Her hair that had once been bushy and uncontrollable now fell in soft waves down to the small of her back and shined when the light hit it. She had grown a few inches and her figure had grown into something more womanly. Something she was actually rather proud of.
Her honey colored eyes glistened in the morning-light, as she looked herself over in the mirror. She picked up her brush and sat down on the stool in front of her vanity. She slowly brushed the tangles out of her hair before setting the brush down to begin applying her daily make-up. (A little lipstick, eye shadow, and eyeliner, simple yet refined.)
She stood up and walked to her closet to pick out her wardrobe for the day. She chose a black form-fitting tank top that had silver writing on it saying I want you.to go away, and a pair of blue jean shorts. She quickly slipped them on and started toward the kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning mother. Morning daddy." Hermione said with a smile as she entered the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"Good morning Hermione." Her mother said as she set a plate of food in front of Hermione. "Did you sleep well?"
"Very well thank you." Hermione said quickly before hastily eating her breakfast.
"Why the hurry?" Her father asked with a laugh. He found her new eating habits rather amusing.
"I'm supposed to meet Sam at the mall."
"Oh." Her mother said her face slightly annoyed. "And when were you planning on tell us this? I do believe you still have some homework to do for school."
"School doesn't start for another two weeks mom." Hermione complained. "Please can I go? It's just to the mall. It's not like I go there every day. Please." She turned to her father and gave him her most innocent smile.
"Alright." He said and Hermione turned to grin at her mother. For some reason she and her mom hadn't gotten along very well since the second week into break. They never seemed to agree anymore. Hermione was about to start her seventh and final year at Hogwarts and she had decided long ago that she was going to actually enjoy her vacation for once.
Hermione stood from the table and leaned forward to give her father a kiss on the cheek. "Bye daddy." She said with a smile. She turned and started walking from the room and call over her shoulder, "I'll be home later mom."

A/N: That's it for chapter one everyone. I hope you guys don't mind the new Hermione way too much. I rather like her new character. Anyway. Please review for me. And I'll post more soon. I promise.
